Five days have passed since the meeting between Natasha, Dr. Aisyah, and Chiara. Luky sat in the Dragon Guard subordinate war chamber, monitoring video bait from the raids on the remains of The Consortium cells in the Philippines. The large screen on the wall features a drone footage that shows the Dragon Guard team ambushed a coastal villa.
"The main target has been secured, Boss," reported the voice of Commander Ariawan through the communicator. "We also seized several hard drive and documents."
"Good. Take them to the interrogation facility here. I want all data to be analyzed within six hours," Luky ordered.
"Ready, boss."
Luky checks the system interface. The main mission against The Consortium shows progress of 72%. He turned to the mission tab "Dynasty Development".

The third candidate, Valerina Kusuma, is still a priority that has not been touched. Luky pressed the Interkom button.
"Ari, the status of the approach plan for Valerina Kusuma?"
"The team has compiled a scenario, Boss. We are waiting for your approval," Ariawan answered.
"Show on my main screen now."
A detailed operating document appears on the Luky monitor screen. The plan involved the creation of a very complicated fictitious corruption case, which was designed to be diverted to Valerina's desk. This case will appear real, involving the names of Shell companies and fictitious officials. "Incidentally" regulated will make Valerina face a dead end in her investigation due to the lack of adequate forensic financial resources. At that point, a "contact" will advise him to seek assistance from the Forensic Finance Team of the Nusantara Global Group, which is known for his expertise and has just helped the Attorney General's Office in other cases.
Luky read all documents carefully. "The plan is quite good. But for the fictitious cases more convincing. Add a layer of funds transfer through cryptocurrency and tuck the name of a real public official who has been known to be problematic, but not being investigated. It will trigger his interest and make him suspicious."
"Understand, Boss. The team will revise," Ariawan answered.
"Do it. I want the execution to start in 48 hours."
"Ready, boss."
While his team perfected the plan, Luky focused on two other candidates. He sent a message to Dr. Aisyah.
[Luky to Dr. Aisyah:] "Thank you for your other day. I have prepared an initial funding proposal for the Heart Research Center. Are you willing to meet it to discuss it? I also want to introduce you to my architect and biomedical engineers."
[Dr. Aisha told Luky:] "I am interested in seeing the proposal. Tomorrow at 3 pm, I have time between the operation."
The meeting was held at Luky's office in the Global Nusantara Tower. Dr. Ayesha arrived on time, still wearing a doctor's setting under her lab coat.
"Dr. Aisyah, welcome," Luky welcomed.
"Mr. Pratama," answered Aisyah with a brief nod. "I only have an hour."
"I appreciate your time. This is my team." Luky introduced a famous architect and a biomedical engineer from Germany. They then discussed building plans, equipment specifications, and research plans for 45 minutes.
After the other team left, Luky spoke to Aisha. "You look satisfied with the direction."
"The proposal is very impressive. More than I imagined," admitted Aisyah.
"That's because I believe in your vision. And I want you to be part of that bigger vision, Aisyah. Have you considered my personal proposal?" Luky asked, looking at him directly.
Aisyah sighed. "I have thought about it. It was very unconscious. But ... a meeting with Natasha gave a perspective. She's a very strong and smart woman. She made her look ... almost logical."
"That's because it is logical. In the context of our world. This is not about lust, Aisyah. This is about building a fortress. Every person involved brings their unique power. You bring your intelligence, integrity, and medical vision."
"And if I agree ... what is expected of me? Practically?"
"Partnership. Support. Honesty. You will pursue your career with unlimited resources. You will be a part of a family that protects each other. And one day, you will be the mother of children who will inherit all this."
Aisha was silent, looking out the window facing the city of Jakarta. "I need a guarantee that my professional autonomy will remain intact."
"That is guaranteed. Your work contract for the research center will bind legally and fully separate from our personal relations."
"Fine," said Aisyah finally. "I ... accept your proposal."
Luky nodded, smiling faintly. "Welcome to join, Aisyah."
[Progress of Mission "Dynasty Development":
Candidate 1: Dr. Aisyah Lestari - Interest Level: 85%. Status: Approved.]
Luky immediately sent a message to Natasha.
[Luky to Natasha:] "Aisha agreed."
[Natasha to Luky:] "I know he will agree. He is pragmatic. He sees his value. I set dinner tomorrow for the three of us. I will cook."
[Luky to Natasha:] "Thank you, Nat. For everyone."
The next day, Luky turned to Chiara Andiani. He invited him to a charity concert he sponsored.
"Luky, this is a pleasant night," Chiara said, sitting next to Luky in the VIP Boks.
"And for good purposes," Luky added. "As you always do."
They watched the concert, and during the break, Luky brought talks to a more serious topic.
"Chiara, you have spent time with Natasha and me. You have seen our dynamics. What do you think now?"
Chiara smiled. "This ... is different. But not in a bad way. Natasha is extraordinary. And you ... you offer stability and opportunities to make an impact that I can't get myself."
"So, are you considering accepting my offer?"
"I have considered it. And my answer is yes," Chiara said. "I want to be part of this. I want to be your collection curator, and ... more than that."
"Welcome to join, Chiara," Luky said, holding his hand.
[Progress of Mission "Dynasty Development":
Candidate 2: Chiara Andiani - Interest rate: 88%. Status: Approved.]
Two down, one more to be completed. Luky now focuses all his attention to Valerina Kusuma.
The plan prepared by his team has been executed. Fictitious cases have been successfully made and transferred to Valerina's desk. Through spies placed in the Attorney General's Office, the Luky team reported that Valerina had begun to investigate and had difficulty with the financial complexity of the case.
"Now, it's time for the next step," Luky told Ariawan through a compulance. "Activate 'contact' at the prosecutor's office."
"It's been done, Boss. A section head that we have 'helped' before will advise him to contact us today."
Luky waited. A few hours later, the phone specifically rang. That is his secretary.
"Boss, there is a call from the Attorney General's Office. A prosecutor Valerina Kusuma. He wants to talk about the possibility of consultation in a case."
"Connect," Luky ordered.
"Mr. Pratama, this is Valerina Kusuma from the Attorney General's Office," the voice across the telephone sounded firm and professional.
"Prosecutor Valerina, what can I help?" Luky asked.
"I handle a complex case that requires a high -level forensic financial expertise. My boss suggests that your team might help."
"We are always open to help law enforcement, prosecutors. Do you want to meet to discuss the details?"
"Yes. Is tomorrow morning at 9th?"
"Perfect. My office in the Global Nusantara Tower. I will inform security."
The meeting took place the next day. Valerina Kusuma arrived on time, wearing a formal suit. He brought a safe tablet.
"Thank you for your time, Mr. Pratama," he said, shaking hands strongly.
"Please sit down, prosecutor Valerina. Tell me about the case."
Valerina explained the fictitious case in detail, showed a complex flow channel diagram. Luky pretended to listen carefully, occasionally asking questions that show his deep understanding.
"The case is indeed very complicated," Luky said after the presentation was over. "My forensic financial team can help track the flow of these funds, especially those involving cryptocurrency. We have tools and access that may not be owned by the prosecutor's office."
"That's what I heard. What is the form of cooperation?"
"We will assign a special team for you. They will work directly with you, report their findings only to you. There is no cost. This is part of our company's social responsibility."
Valerina looks relieved but is still vigilant. "I appreciate it. I want to start as soon as possible."
"The team will be ready tomorrow morning. I will arrange access to our facilities for you."
Over the next two weeks, Valerina regularly visited the Global Nusantara headquarters to work with the Luky Forensic Team. Luky often "coincidentally" passes and is involved in discussions, shows his deep expertise in company law and finance. Valerina is increasingly impressed with her intelligence and resources.
At the end of the second week, the fictitious case was "resolved" successfully thanks to the help of the Luky team. Valerina thanked Luky personally.
"Your help is very valuable, Mr. Pratama. This case is a breakthrough for my career."
"I am happy to be able to help, prosecutor Valerina. You are a prosecutor who is very brilliant and dedicated. Countries need more people like you."
Luky invited him to dinner as a thank you. Valerina, who feels indebted, accepts.
Dinner takes place at Luky's private restaurant. Early talks revolve around the law and corruption.
"Fighting corruption is like hitting the hydra. Cut one head, two heads grow back," Valerina said.
"That's because the root of the problem is systemic," Luky replied. "To defeat it, you need the same systemic strength. Strengths that not only react, but re-form the landscape."
"What do you mean?" Valerina asked.
"I build a network, prosecutor Valerina. A network based on strength, intelligence, and loyalty. The aim is to create stability and progress that cannot be achieved in traditional ways."
"That sounds ... ambitious. And rather vague."
"This is concrete. And I am looking for people like you to strengthen it."
Valerina tilted her head. "I am a prosecutor. I serve the law."
"Law is a tool, not a master. You can serve justice more effectively if you have the strength and resources to do it. Join me."
"What are you joining, to be exact?" What? "
"As a partner. In every meaning of the word. I already have two great women on my side: Natasha Reid and Dr. Aisyah Lestari. I want you to be the third."
Valerina was silent, her eyes widened. "You ... you propose to me? To be ... wife? But you've ..."
"I built a dynasty, Valerina. A family that will be the backbone of strength and influence to shape a better future. Your legal intelligence, integrity, and courage are very valuable attributes."
"This ... this is crazy. I can't ... this is unethical. I'm a prosecutor!"
"And you will remain a prosecutor. Our relationship will be very discrete. This is a strategic offer, Valerina. Think about what you can achieve with unlimited resources behind you. You can clean all institutions, not just capture one or two corruptors."
Valerina stood up, her face was pale. "I ... I have to go. I need time to think about this."
"Sure. Think. But remember, opportunities like this don't come twice."
Valerina left in a hurry. Luky knew he had sowed the seeds. Now, he has to wait.
Two days passed without news. Luky ordered the system to analyze the probability of Valerina's acceptance.
[Analyzing System Valerina Kusuma Candidate ...]
[Probability of revenue: 65%.]
[Key factor: his strong career ambition and frustration with the prosecutor's bureaucracy contradicts his strict personal values.
[Recommendation: Give time. Don't press.]
Luky follows the system recommendation. He focused on the operation against The Consortium.
Finally, on the third day, Valerina called.
"Mr. Pratama. I have thought of your offer. I want to meet with ... with other women. I want to understand this dynamics before making a decision."
"That can be arranged. I will arrange the meeting tomorrow night."
The meeting was held in a neutral place, a private boardroom. Natasha, Aisyah, and Chiara were present. They spoke to Valerina for hours, explaining their vision, the dynamics of relationships, and guarantees of professional autonomy. Valerina asked many sharp and deep questions.
The next day, Valerina called Luky.
"I agree," he said, his voice was flat but firm. "But with the condition. Our relationship must remain confidential until I decide to leave the prosecutor's office. And I want a very detailed pre-marriage contract that protects my career and personal assets."
"All that can be arranged, Valerina. Welcome to join."
"This is a strategic partnership, Mr. Pratama. Not a fairy tale marriage."
"I don't want a fairy tale. I want a dynasty."
